Donald C. Devine, president
and chief executive officer of
American Standard Brands, recently signed a
Statement of Support for the National Guard and Reserve. This statement has pledged:
- To recognize and support Reserve and National Guard
service members and their families in peace, in crises and in war.
- To assure that the company's managers and supervisors will have the
tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard
and Reserve.
- To fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services
Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA).
In addition to the Statement of Support signing, Devine received the
prestigious "Seven Seals Award" from Assistant Secretary
Dennis
M. McCarthy. The Seven Seals Award is the only Employer Support of
the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) award that bridges both the employer and the ESGR
volunteer recognition awards program. It was created by ESGR to publicly
recognize individuals who provide significant achievement, initiative or
support that promotes and supports the ESGR mission.
